When playing as a single, I have learned the hard way to avoid joining threesomes that are part of a group. It’s not unusual to see a few threesomes stacked up for the first tee times of the afternoon wave, which is the tell tale sign of a group. They hope no one will join them, which holds an open space for group members that might show up unscheduled, and sometimes are not very welcoming to golfers outside their group joining them. When playing as a single, it is very unusual to not enjoy the company of fellow golfers, with that one exception.

Enhanced membership creates a moral hazard. The members can flaunt the system and indiscriminately accumulate points and their requests will still trump resident members who follow the rules. What’s even worse is that their guests get priority over resident members.

That's against the rules but then rules are for those who abide by them, so it seems. But what an attitude!! I've been here 26 years and I have met some wonderful people who joined our group as a single. Some have become close friends and some have joined our group, as a result. I can count on one hand the number of duds, but even those were tolerable for a couple of hours. If one is not welcoming, they get the ice treatment in return, so try lightening up and accept the player as they are. If it pains you, it's only for a short time.

I find the individuals are in most cases, good guys.

The "Group" as a group, are a bunch AH's, who think the world owes them and the Starters are their lackeys.

In what world, can you book a group of 20 guys at a golf course, in prime time ... & then allow them to switch players, groups & times?

The tee time system that The Villages have come up with is fair, if someone has low points they versus high points that person is treated fairly!
